A rare sighting of Dom Henry’s celebration dance, or not.

For this event we used Red Bull’s high up connections at Westpac Stadium to secure this lush patch of asphalt in the dusty dungeon that is their carpark. Just kidding, the spot was epic and suited the comp just perfectly. Here’s a few sequences from the night. I definitely missed about a million tricks as it was near impossible to shoot everything. Thanks to everyone who came down and made it a decent session. Word has it that Christchurch and Dunedin should be expecting the Hummer and OTW over the next few months. Watch this space. And beware while watching these gifs as the lights from the generator fluctuate and have created this wonderful flashing effect throughout the sequences. I take no responsibility for an seisures. Oh, and be patient as the sequences may take a minute to load.

Ed Templeton special with casual walk through by Justin, not even a single look back, so jaded. Sam Spiers, nose manual nollie big spin. I’m backing it.

Cookie again, this time in the finals. Switch flip switch nose manual.

I’m not sure if this is the winning trick as I had to leave two seconds after this and missed the last five minutes of the comp. But I’m sure this trick (and Dom’s general shreddery) won him the comp. Fakie shuvit fakie manual fakie flip.
